This Trick Catches Spring Bass When Its Tough! (Fishing The Extremes)
Come along for a fun day of bass fishing! Tim starts out catching fish with a free rig, but when the bite slows in the afternoon he turns to one of our favorite tricks! He pulls out the two extremes, in this case its a Magdraft Swimbait (big bait) and a Karashi (micro bait), and uses that combination to locate and catch fish long after the bite window had closed.
Using the "two extremes" approach will almost always show you where the fish are. Often times they'll eat the big bait, but if they're not willing to bite they're still likely to follow. The micro bait doesn't have the drawing power, but if you get it around the fish they're sure to eat it. This combination allows you to find the fish, then catch them, even when the bite is tough. Keep it in mind the next time you're fishing and the bite comes to an abrupt halt.
Below you'll find links to the exact baits Tim used throughout the day. We've also included the rods and reels he relied on for the various lures. All the links go directly to Tackle Warehouse where you can see detailed photos and descriptions of each item.
